The Cybils 2008 Young Adult Fiction Finalists

Deep breath.Courtney emailed me this morning to let me know that I Know It's Over is a 2008 Cybils Finalist in the young adult fiction category. It's in incredible company with Audrey, Wait!, The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, Jellicoe Road, Sweethearts, Ten Cents a Dance and Thaw.

I'm too blown away (!!!!!!!!!!!!) to form coherent, articulate sentences but I want to say a huge thanks to the awesome Tanita S. Davis (author of A La Carte, also known as TadMack on the Finding Wonderland: The WritingYA Weblog) for nominating the book in the first place.

I don't know if I'll be in any less shock tomorrow but I imagine I'll be much sleepier. Who could sleep after hearing this?

Love and peace are eternal." Her ninth young adult book, JUST LIKE YOU SAID IT WOULD BE, is packed with movie references and giddy love for Dublin, Ireland and her middle grade debut STRICKEN is a sci-fi adventure that happens to be set in Dublin too.
